A metal-free 2-selenylation of tryptophan derivatives is reported, where the use of iodide as the catalyst and oxone as the oxidant is key to obtain high yields. Various functional groups within the di-seleny and the indole ring are tolerated, and no racemization is generally observed.

Treatment of Nb protected tryptophan methyl esters with phenyl sulphenyl chloride and phenylselenenyl bromide results in substitution at the indole 2-position and not in the anticipated tetrahydropyrroloindoles.
